Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

My personal best was an essay on the influences and meanings of post war automotive styling based entirely off of me regularly reading Car and Driver and the 59 Cadillac some guy down the street owned.

Turned out the prof lusted for a 59 of his own.

An entire thread where the underlying message is that the primary lesson from college is how to half ass things at the last minute and getting away with it... a skill AI is depriving the current generation in college from learning.

A transfer wizard is never late, nor is it early, it transfers characters precisely when it means to.

a man is talking to a woman and saying `` so you 're telling me there 's a chance . ALT: a man is talking to a woman and saying `` so you 're telling me there 's a chance .

That headline is very much this vibe...

Twitch telling me fresh drops are available for EVE Online 3 hours ago, and below that the message that I earned the drop 4 hours ago.

Twitch alerts... always bringing me old news.
#EVEOnline, #Twitch

(Also, that was a four hour drop)

If I can get the attention of the one person who I know missed it the first time around, it will be worth the effort.

Also, I have to remind myself that we're the obsessive weirdos in this scenario. I was able to trot out a 9 month history of server transfers for context. Not normal.

Agreed. I couldn't bring myself to rant about the AI plagiarism machine when I was still stuck on their complete ignorance of the market they're trying to enter.

I mean, many for sea birds I suppose. Pelicans, seagulls, and smaller sea birds.

Down below us many birds were sitting on the beach... until one got spooked and they all flew off in a mass, swirling about.

(Now I have to go fix my Amazon settings so it won't feed me recommendations based on my checking to see if it was available.)

Stephen Miller And 'The Camp Of The Saints,' A White Nationalist Reference The White House adviser has read the racist 1973 book, according to leaked emails. For far-right activists, the work of fiction has helped to shape real ideology and anti-immigration stances.

And, unlike "The Turner Diaries," it is available over at Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions.

Stephen Miller has been promoting it for a while now.
